From handguns to stun guns, tasers, and mace, Yoakum said customers are looking for ways to feel safe.

"The only thing that's protecting the United States from complete invasion is people carrying guns," said Yoakum.

The attacks in San Bernardino, Colorado Springs, and Paris have people talking about about guns again.

Some want stricter gun control laws, saying it's too easy for bad guys to get their hands on weapons.

Others said tighter regulations could be dangerous.

"We live in a difficult world today. The police are there but they can't be everywhere and they obviously need time to respond. My personal beliefs are that if people in California would've had even one person in their armed, the outcome may have been a lot different," said a customer at Gary's Guns who only wanted to be identified as John. "You're going to see an awful lot of attacks take place in gun free zones because they're soft. They know they have no opposition and that's where the criminal element or terrorist elements going to go."

Sheriffs, including Richard Jones and Jim Neil, have publicly reminded people about their right to bear arms.

"I tell people, you should get your concealed carry," said Jones.

From what gun store owners are seeing, more people are listening.

FBI statistics back that up. The FBI processed more than 19,800,000 background checks so far this year.
